Docker has released version 1.8 of its containerization solution, and it features a new security capability called Content Trust. "The problem is right now we have millions of software updates every day across containers, but we have not had a standard way to validate the integrity and authenticity of those applications," explained Diogo Mónica, security lead for Docker. "So we really had to find a solution that is easy for developers while still working on any type of infrastructure. Once you enable Content Trust in Docker 1.8.0, you're in a golden world where every operation that you do in Docker is a trusted operation. So all operations only work with trusted content."
